According to CriptoNoticias, Argentina’s largest crypto exchange, Lemon, announced that it will cease its local operations due to Brazil’s excessive regulatory capital requirements, deactivate Lemon Card on September 30, and automatically close all Brazilian accounts on October 16. The company said that applying for the crypto business license required by Brazil’s central bank would tie up a large amount of capital, disproportionate to the scale of its local business, and therefore decided to exit. Lemon said it will wind down its operations in an orderly manner, notify users in advance, and p

Shielded Labs stated that Zcash governance relies on rough consensus formed among multiple parties, including token holders and community groups.

Galaxy Research Head of Research Alex Thorn wrote that the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). Although behind-the-scenes efforts to revive it are ongoing, no further progress is expected this year. He believes the crypto industry can still rely on rulemaking and guidance from regulators in the short term to obtain a clearer regulatory environment, but such measures could be reversed by a future administration. Thorn noted that administrative regulation cannot replace legislation: the CFTC cannot grant itself authority to regulate spot markets, reg
